Indy Lights
On March 27, 2018, it was announced that Windom would make his Indy Lights debut driving for Belardi Auto Racing in the Freedom 100 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with support from Jonathan Byrd's Racing, the same group that supported fellow sprint car driver Bryan Clauson venture into Indy Lights and the IndyCar Series.[5] Windom, however, crashed during the first morning testing session on May 21 and the damage to the car forced Windom to withdraw from the event.[6]
On April 16, 2019, it was announced that Windom would again attempt to make his Indy Lights debut in that year's Freedom 100 with Belardi Auto Racing and Jonathan Byrd's Racing.[7] The day before the race, Windom suffered a massive crash during the Hoosier Hundred; however, Windom still decided to start the race.[8] Unfortunately, Windom would experience another harrowing crash on the first lap of the Freedom 100 after he hit the spinning David Malukas and climbed atop the SAFER barrier. Neither driver was injured.[9]
